Spoilers ahead
An opening scene follows a boy from a prehistoric era who hunts a fish, returns to his ruined village, and is suddenly sucked into a time vortex that hurls him into 20th‑century Japan.
In that modern world, Nobita longs to run away from home and starts by trying to set up a makeshift living space, though persistent land ownership rules keep blocking his progress. Meanwhile, his friends Shizuka, Gian, Suneo, and Doraemon also want to escape their families. Nobita proposes a radical plan: travel back in time to a place in Japan that is free of human habitation. The group agrees, and they journey to prehistoric Japan, roughly 70,000 years in the past.
